One way to check it is let it run a while and feel the lower pipe vs the upper pipe. The upper should be hot and the lower should be cold. You can also feel down the fins and see where it is cooling off at. The top pipe must be under water for the system to work. If you think it is plugged up, get a barrel under a downspout and collect rain water. Use that water and nothing more and give it as many changes as it takes to get clean water to come out after a days running. It will dissolve the lime and not corrode the brass in the rad. It is ammazing how well it works! The water in my H Farmall came out cloudy with lime for about 5 changes till it cleared up. When it clears up use ditilled water and antifreeze only. Run the engine a while with the cap off to let any dissovled oxygen from the water escape, and you will be good to go.
